Putin's Narrowing Options
There comes a time in all WARs when the best option is to literally turn around and to withdraw to the original borders and dig in. In this case we may well be also be withdrawing from Crimea. Then demand an international border commission to resolve outstanding issues and also apply to join NATO as part of a final deal. I do not see common sense breaking out anytime soon.

Europeans Were Not the Only Slave Traders in Africa
The reality was that white ship owners bought slaves on the coast from native dealers. You would be crazy to think that a team walked even a hundred miles inland ever. This includes all of africa, all of north America and south america. The direct application of slaving was direct depopulation of the interior of these continents, particularly of small communities unable to properly protect themselves. This was a natural extension of normal ongoing indiganous warfare. The general excuse is that depopulation was caused by pandemics. These happened but locally. Otherwise everyo... read more
The Problem of No-Go Zones
Why is it that the areas in which muslims become the largest community turn into no-go zones for other communities?

There are muslim majority neighborhoods in cities and towns of Western Europe which, according to media reports, have become no-go-zones for Christians, Hindus, and Jews. In Leicester, Hindus have come under attack because a few of them passed through a muslim majority area. In a secular democracy, w... read more
